Left out in the cold will be Colorado’s own Eldora Mountain, as the little Boulder-area resort will not be included in next year’s epic-ness. Bummer bros, but long live Ja-POW!

The Big Picture has to be an early favorite for Webisode of the Year, it just has to be. Oh, and a Liam Downey sighting, you say? Game over.

Taos Ski Valley community (just a wee bit) angry about drug sweeps

While Colorado resorts were busy blowing up anything related to sticky green, all hell was breaking loose down in New Mexico as four National Forest agents and a drug dog engaged in a drug sweep of Taos Ski Valley’s parking facilities, issuing five tickets for possession and enraging local citizens. Former Governor Gary Johnson considered the action that of “a police state” and one Carson National Forest employee was called a Nazi in the fiery backlash. The Carson National Forest denounced the action of its employees just a few days later, but tempers still simmered over the unprovoked sweeps. Wow, the Taos Ski Clan ain’t nothin’ to f%$k with.

And we love urban edits.
